Are these an issue?

[remyaz0]

Continuing to have Fan Leaves that are getting spotted or yellow or drying up and crumbling if handled throughout my grow. It does not seem to effect new growth at all and the plant seems fine to me. It is my first grow tho and im not sure if I should worry about fixing it or if its natural. I have just been picking them off when i notice that the leave is pretty bad with it. Attaching some pics.

I keep the PH around 5.8-6.0 it occasionally climbs a bit higher or lower. A few weeks ago after a res change and having to switch air stones it dropped to like 5.1 but i never saw any noticeable difference in how she handled it. I am running a single plant in a DWC. It is about 2 1/2 weeks into flowering and all new growth is green and healthy looking. Running the GH Flora Series nutes and just started using GH KoolBloom yesterday. PPM is 1250 right now.

Doesn't look to bad yet, but I think your PPM is to high for this point in flowering. This may be the problem.

I think ur PH may be a lil high as I see some minute deficiencies related to a high ph. I would try and keep it on the 5.2 side of things and see if it straightens out. Is ur meter recently calibrated? Does it compenste for temperature? From the way the plant looks I dont think ur PH is what u think it is. Those are micronutrient deficiencies which will show at PH 6.5 or higher from my experience. That Kool Bloom will also raise ur PH.

I run GH Flora Micro and Bloom at 1400 ppm (e.c. 2.0) thru all of flower, sometimes as high as 1600 if I fuck my mix up. I use a 1:2 ratio of micro and bloom, no grow (not even in veg) I add Kool Bloom on top of that. I ph to 5.2 and let it run up to 5.8 b4 lowering it back to 5.2 again. I let my nutes run down to 1150 and bump it back up to 1400. In the last 2 or 3 weeks of flower, I cut out the micro and run full strength Calmag and full strength Kool Bloom on top of 800 ppm of Bloom, no flush.

Thanks I will recalibrate my meter tonite and check it again. Plant hermi'd on me today so been picking those off and trying to decide if i should just start over again. Also interesting news about the GH nutes you never use the grow formula? I kinda thought it was odd that the micro seems to have most the N for the 3 parts. Do you veg long at all while doing that?

Damn herms! U may want to start new seeds, but dont kill these.

With that formula I veg my moms for 2-3 months before replacing them from being potbound. When I take clones off of my moms I root them and flower them with no veg time and get an ounce per plant. and well over 1 gram per watt with NO veg time. I use NO supplements. Everything u need to grow marijuana is all in FloraNova Bloom, or Flora Series Micro, and Bloom.

I just ordered some BB Blue Cheese for my next start going to try it out without the grow.

Decided to continue to grow her out been picking off the pods and used some DM reverse on her they are mostly all gone now can find an odd one every other day. Will be doing the 2nd dose of reverse later this week. I recalibrated the meter and it was like .2 off on the PH. She is flowering nicely now my PPM got up to 1900 and she seems to enjoy it drinking a gallon+ a day I plan to just top off with some distilled water next few days to get it down a bit tho. I have seen no new growth with any sign of deficiency but most of the bigger fan leaves still have it. More pics over in the hydro section.

1900 is a lil on the high side, but if they seem ok just keep a close eye and remember that pending on how big the plant is, it may take up water faster than nutes, causing the ppm in the res to get even higher than waht u started with....

Yea i changed my res to get it back down to around 1300 and am gonna be more sparing with nutes. Have a new deficiency as well only on one branch tho Started as brown and the leaves felt like cloth almost now they are turning orange and its spreading on the leaves around that budsite.

Plants look really good! That looks like bacterial leaf blight, not a deficiency. If it is it wont effect bud growth at all, and u are so far into flower it wont have time to do much damage to leaves. Its weird that its only in that spot though. Did u get the plant wet in that area? Maybe another plant was touching it there and water built up between the leaves? Nothing to worry aboutm keep humidity oin low side and dont foilar spray and it is no biggie.

I honestly cannot think of how i could of gotten it wet. Only thing i can think of that might of happened is it touched the light for a few seconds when i lifted up plant to change out res. Could that cause it? But you were right it never spread any further just made a few leaves look terrible. Few weeks from harvest now. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/263972-first-grow-flowering-600w-dwc.html
